Winter is coming, and with it come the hazards of the cold: busted pipes, frozen gas caps, and mice in the attic. The DIY experts at Stack Exchange provide tips on preventing winter's worries before the weather hits.

Answer: Check Your Car

3. Check the tires
- Check tire pressure, and adjust as necessary
- Check the treads. If you insert a penny in the tread, and can see the top of Lincoln's head, then you are due for new tires.
- Double check your spare is in good shape, and is properly inflated

4. Check the battery. If you have any indications that the battery is weak, it will only get worse when the cold hits. If your battery is older than about 5 years, you likely need a replacement.
